GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs that enables clients to request exactly the data they need from a server. It provides a more efficient, flexible, and intuitive alternative to traditional REST APIs by allowing clients to specify their data requirements in a single query. GraphQL defines a schema that describes the types of data available in the API and allows clients to traverse and query the data graph in a declarative manner.

GraphQL simplifies and improves the efficiency of data fetching and manipulation in modern web applications. It eliminates over-fetching and under-fetching of data, reduces the number of API requests, and enables faster development cycles. Proficiency in GraphQL is valuable for front-end and back-end developers working on applications that require real-time data updates, complex data relationships, and efficient data fetching.

I have a basic understanding of GraphQL and can create simple GraphQL APIs and queries. I am familiar with GraphQL concepts such as schemas, types, queries, mutations, and subscriptions. However, I may still need guidance when designing more complex schemas, optimizing GraphQL queries, or implementing advanced features like pagination and authentication. I am actively learning and practicing GraphQL to improve my proficiency in this area.
